NASA and the European Space Agency shared a new image of the Phantom Galaxy taken from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The M74 galaxy, which has been nicknamed the Phantom Galaxy, is 32 million light-years away from Earth and is in the Pisces constellation, according to the ESA.The first image was processed by the ESA using the Mid-InfraRed Instrument and shows different star formations in the galaxy.
"M74 is a particular class of spiral galaxy known as a ‘grand design spiral’, meaning that its spiral arms are prominent and well-defined, unlike the patchy and ragged structure seen in some spiral galaxies," the ESA said. The second image is a combined optical and mid-infrared image from data from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Webb telescope.
The red parts of the image indicate dust"threaded through the arms of the galaxy," while the light orange areas indicate warmer dust areas, according to the ESA. The agency also said the variety of"galactic features" in the image is rare to see in one picture.The latest images from the Webb telescope come after NASA revealed new images of Jupiter last week, which were also taken from the Webb telescope.
The telescope was launched into space in December 2021, with NASA and the ESA releasing images from the telescope periodically since last month.
